“Rockwell Rocketdyne used to test rocket engines on a very regular basis and then just dump the fuel on the ground and let it soak in. It never occurred to any of the over educated boobs that the poison would eventually work its way into the water supply and local wells.

Robert Redford's Sundance Channel to Air Climate Denier Propaganda
Commented Nov 19, 2009 at 15:35:28 in Green
“The Democracy Now channel "Link" on Dishnet has a good documentary about Barton Springs in Austin Texas which also features Robert Redford who clearly criticizes the decisions of man to destroy the environment out of short term greed.
I think someone else is pulling the strings on the Sundance Channel and pulling them in the wrong direction. I don't think it is Redford. It doesn't sound like something he would do.”

“I have to agree with jhNY. we are going to have to take this straw man and flesh it out and breathe some life into it. The first computer was a piece of junk and it didn't do much but everyone could see the potential there. The first airplane barely got off the ground but the Wright brothers didn't quit and they didn't give up because they didn't get what they wanted the first trip out. The glass is half full. We will be back. We will not quit. We will be successful. Progressives will prevail.”

“The United States won World War II by defeating the Japanese on their own soil. Yes FDR rounded up all of the Japanese Americans and put them in camps. Yes, the United States dropped not one but 2 nuclear bombs on Japan destroying many civilians. The Japanese surrendered.
You could say they asked for it by attacking Pearl Harbor, but we asked for Pearl Harbor by putting a blockade around Japan because we didn't like what they were doing in China.
We could have chosen not to put a blockade around Japan. Sanctions are not a requirement any more than internment camps are a requirement.
but if you are going to pick a fight you better be prepared to deliver the knock out punch otherwise you are going to lose.”

Base to Obama: Come In, Please

Better still, The Conscience of a Liberal, by Paul Wellstone.
If the Democratic Party base organizes itself into a new left-liberal political party, as I hope it soon will (see my comment on this thread earlier), Wellstone should be considered a posthumous honorary founder. I really believe he would be fed-up and decide, as a few of us (so far) have, that it's time to put country and principle over residual party loyalty.
The party that Wellstone and many of us came of age in exists only in nostalgia. I just noticed that Doris Kearns Goodwin, wife of Richard Goodwin (who authored LBJ's Great Society speeches), want to see "more LBJ" from Obama. This is impossible given, in short, what Obama and his team (and the overwhelming majority of other elected Democrats and their affluent donors) are essentially "all about" -- in a harsh word, opportunism.
To elect a latter day FDR (per Krugman) or LBJ (per Goodwin) or another Lincoln or Wellstone president, we have to found a new party that puts forth a fighting enlightenment platform, run a presidential candidate on it, win a general election, and use the resulting mandate to implement it. This could be accomplished within two election cycles of its founding, as it did with the Republicans (1856 and 1860).
Without such a sea change "we the people" will continue going nowhere fast.

Time to Kill the Pseudo-Public Option -- and Other Things to Tell Your Representative
Commented Nov 03, 2009 at 14:27:19 in Politics
“We've talked about health care CEOs getting rich off of denying coverage but the other side of the coin is just as bad if not worse. And that is that some hospitals and health care corporations have had to close their doors because they are not making enough money to cover the costs. Then patients have nowhere to go when they are sick....
This whole focus on money, money, money, is wrong, wrong, wrong.
When my doctor comes to work on me I want that doctor thinking about only one thing, "how can I help this patient get better"?
I don't want them thinking about getting rich and I don't want them worrying that there is not enough money to cover the costs of what I need.
And somehow the government has decided that it is OK to funnel tax dollars over to that giant gambling casino called WALL STREET so tthat a few can have their fun and a few get rich. But there are lots of questions when it comes to funding health care for all. What questions? How can anyone juxtapose the giant WALL STREET casino and health care and then come away with any other conclusion than the people are much better served by funding health care for all...............”

“I don't really care if the public option does become the dumping ground for tough medical cases. I can't think of a better use of tax dollars than caring for the sick. We have certainly wasted tax dollars on less worthy causes.
Lieberman may be starting to cave say some reports and I know I have sent him my own nasty grams. We need to keep clobbering Senators and congressmen until we get the single payer universal health care system we really deserve and should have.
Corporations running doctors and nurses around has always been a bad idea and it needs to stop. CEOs and executives have no "value added" for the health care system and we should send them all packing. The doctors and nurses have value to the patient and we can do without all of the overhead, advertising, profit, high salaries for the administrators, and coverage denial departments.....”

If we don't prosecute I can't see how the world court will not pick up the case.

Connecticut should impeach Lieberman on the basis that he has perpetrated a fraud on the people he was elected to represent. Lieberman continues to align himself with the interests of corporate health care while 60 % of his constituents when asked say they favor a public option.”
